About Roy Cole

I live in Charleston, SC where I owned a family-operated construction business before retiring last year. My grandparents bought this property in 1960 and built a house that has since been enjoyed by our family and many others. Over the years, each generation of our family has worked together to lovingly maintain it. We delight in the opportunity to share Fletcher House with you.

Roy Cole purchased this House in 1960

Why Roy Cole chose Candler

Prior to building the house, Ruby and Furman Fletcher would spend summers right down the road at the historic Pisgah View Ranch. They fell in love with the area, building their own home as soon as they were able. Actively participating in the building process, their personal touches--like the Davis Creek stones found around the property--are still evident to visitors today and show the love and hard work they put into creating this special place. Today, 5 generations of our family have made wonderful memories here and we hope you will too!

What makes this House unique

We love our mountain house for it's cozy and unique mid-century feel, and have really enjoyed the modern updates we have added (like our new kitchen appliances). The house is decorated with a mix of both vintage and modern furniture. It feels very "home-y" and not like a hotel, which sets us apart from the many "investor" rentals out there. Our property is very private, and although there are other homes nearby they are not visible from our property. A truly great place to relax and "get away from it all!"

We had a great time at the Fletcher House! The ping pong table in the basement was great to have and the views and nice porches were great! If you go for a walk, keep in mind there might be hunters in the area!

The home was lovely, clean, and lots of space. My grandson was fascinated with the book collection. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The fireplace was very cozy downstairs. Enjoyed the nice outdoor furniture, view and fresh air. Our dogs enjoyed a little bit of space to run around the property without neighbors in sight. The home is very old, though furniture is decent. Had to put the sheets on our beds when we arrived late at night. The upstairs of the house is very cold without heat (definitely not as cozy as downstairs). All appliances worked well in the kitchen. We had great company, so a great time. However, the house could really use some updating.

Owner's Response:

Rachel, thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay even if our home wasn't quite what your group was looking for. We hope all potential guests will read through our very thorough listing with many details about the house and take a moment to view the photos as they are deciding to book with us. Thanks again for visiting!

Great Stay!

I spend the weekend here with a group of friends and it was great! Perfect location if you have a large group of people. Everyone had their own bed, and we had two we didn’t even use! The house had everything we could need. We cooked a big family dinner on Saturday night and there was more than enough plates, utensils, pots and pans for everyone. The porch and backyard is beautiful with lots of seating. It was really nice being secluded away from neighbors and the city of Asheville; but we were close enough that we spent a lot of time in Asheville and the surrounding areas! My group already said they would love to stay there again. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
